Overclocking my old 3500+ advises

[coa]

I have an Athlon 3500+ on 2.86GHz.My temp is 43*C idle,52*C full load.1.47v.It is stable.Is that a good temp?Should i worry?

it's a little high, but nothing to worry about. seems that your fan is doing an adequate job cooling it down to 52c under load. i get 53c under load on my phenom 9500 @ 2.5ghz. it's just the idle seems high. then again maybe you don't have stuff like cool'n'quiet enabled or at all. not sure if your processor supports it.

My processor supports it but when i turn it on comp can't boot up.What should i do?

If cool n' quiet doesn't work, its really no big deal. I have the same processor as you, its pretty old. My cool n quiet works, but then again my crappy VIA chipset and RAM prevent OCing. Its time to upgrade my computer...

That sounds like a good setup. The only caution I would give is that you check out the PSU tier charts and/or go to www.jonnyguru.com for recommendations of what is a good PSU and what to stay away from.

Is a 450W enough for this system?Should i take 500w or more?I will upgrade probably.
